Texture Tuesday--March 29th

I have not explored with textures very much; I am finding I just really like my photos to represent what I actually see. I'm not very "artsy." However, I have seen people use textures in some lovely ways and sometimes "blah" does become interesting with a texture. So this week I am joining Kim Klassen's new link--Texture Tuesday. I have learned a lot about using Photoshop Elements from her and love getting her free textures in my e-mail each Friday.

See, it's all about having textures with the right shots and I really think you hit the nail on the head! I've used textures on several shots of mine and I hated them all and I'm conviced I just used the wrong shots.

WHAT? Not "Artsy?" HA! This is fantastic! Totally different then any other pics. Love your choices of texture too - it contrasts with the bleak wintery look. Warms it up, and makes a hopeful gardner want to look for sprouts! I love this pic! :)Your blog is lovely - your personal photos are really really good... sorry, you're definitely ARTSY! hehe!love,Sherilyn at Clear Crick Cottage

What is this blog?

I am strictly an amateur photographer with 3 kids and a brand new D-SLR. I am finding that the best way for me to improve my photography is to participate in photo and photo editing challenges. But I don't want to saturate my real life blog with my photo attempts, so I started this blog for a place to post photos (blogger makes it sooo easy!). If you are interested in learning more about me and my adorable children, feel free to visit my real life blog.
